Trump Cries ‘Witch Hunt’ And The Jokes Just Write Themselves
Donald Trump again cried “WITCH HUNT!” on Twitter on Tuesday, apparently referring to Robert Mueller’s investigation into alleged collusion between the president’s 2016 campaign and Russian efforts to interfere in the election.
It’s a phrase Trump has used before. But many are wondering if he’s using it correctly:
A witch hunt is when a movement fueled by prejudice and bereft of material evidence results in bloodlust. Your use of the term here is incorrect. A better example might be if, say, you tried to convince the world that a sitting president wasn’t American simply because he’s black.

Is this a witch hunt? No. Am I a witch currently using witchcraft to actively hunt the President? Yes.

19 indictments. 7 guilty pleas. So far.
I’m starting to think that Trump doesn’t really understand the meaning of the phrase “witch hunt.”— Bryan Behar (@bryanbehar) February 28, 2018

It's not a witch hunt, it's a traitor hunt and Mueller is getting closer all the time. Resign and move to Russia, if Putin will have you.
